Most of the Karluks had been eliminated, leaving only a small number of remnants still hiding or fleeing. Flames were rekindled in Sanhe Fortress. Numerous Han soldiers held torches and began to clean up the battlefield. The orange-red flames, symbolizing hope and peace, rose slowly in this misty rainy night, illuminating the entire scene of Sanhe Fortress. Shocking, miserable, bloody. Corpses were scattered everywhere inside and outside Sanhe Fortress, most of them Karluks. A large amount of…-

The once tranquil grassland had now turned into a scene of carnage. Tents were torn apart, and burning flames still licked at remaining objects, making crackling sounds. Where horses had trampled, mud mixed with blood, forming patches of dark red mire. Some Karluk warhorses ran panic-stricken on the battlefield, their neighs piercing the night sky. And those dead Karluks, most of their eyes stared blankly at the night sky, as if recounting the helplessness of fading life and the cruelty of…

"Leader!" "It's the Han people." "There are so many Han people. They've already broken in!" A Karluk soldier rode up frantically to Aslan, fear still lingering on his face, shouting wildly. In fact, Aslan already knew the Han cavalry had broken into Sanhe Fortress without his subordinate's report because Sanhe Fortress itself wasn't big. Relying on his war experience, Aslan could even judge the position and approximate number of the Han cavalry from the hoofbeats and screams. "There are…

The slaughter in the Karluk camp continued. Although caught off guard by the four-fortress coalition, the Karluks' resistance had not ceased in the slightest. A Karluk man lay in ambush on the ground. Seeing an opportunity, he leaped and knocked a young man off his horse. Immediately after, the two began to roll and fight on the ground. Just as the Karluk man gained the upper hand, pressing the young Han man under him and preparing to strike a heavy blow, his body suddenly…

"How is it?" When Li Dashan and the other two arrived in front of him, the Old Master asked in a deep voice. "Everything is normal!" Li Dashan wiped the rain from his face and said. Then he began to report his reconnaissance findings. "There are about three thousand Karluks in Sanhe Fortress, most of them living in tents outside Sanhe Fortress." "A small portion live in the houses inside the village." Sanhe Fortress originally only had about a thousand Han people, so the houses in the…

Gloomy dark clouds blocked the sun, and low rumbles sounded occasionally in the sky. A misty drizzle sprinkled over the earth, washing away the dirt on the ground, but it could not wash clean the sins committed by the Karluks in Sanhe Fortress. Dried blood gathered on the ground again with the wash of rain, flowing into rivers. In the village fortress built of loess and stone, traces of saber slashes and arrows could still be clearly seen. In some inconspicuous corners, pieces of flesh and…

Early the next morning, the sky was gloomy. A misty drizzle had been falling since last night. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and accompanied by the cool summer breeze, it stirred people's hearts. Summer in the Northern Border was just like this, rainy and cool. Amidst this misty drizzle, a cavalry unit of over a hundred men was rapidly advancing toward Hexi Fortress. When they were a few hundred meters away from Hexi Fortress, the speed of this cavalry team slowly decreased. "Whoa…

Sanhe Fortress was breached by the Karluks? When Third Grandpa brought this news back to the village, the shock it caused to the villagers of Hexi Fortress was considerable. "Is the news confirmed?" In the evening, everyone gathered at Li Xiao's home. The Old Master sat on a chair, looking solemnly at Third Grandpa. Third Grandpa took a ladle, gulped down enough water from the water tank, let out a long breath, then looked at the Old Master and nodded. "Confirmed." "On my way back, I met…

In the Western Regions, it gets dark late and dawn comes late too. The Chen hour (7-9 AM) was already mostly past, and the sun in the Northern Border had just risen. After a peaceful night, Hexi Fortress gradually became bustling. The sounds of clanging work and shouting while feeding livestock rang out in the village. If one ignored the reality of the Karluk rebellion, Hexi Fortress at this moment looked completely like a paradise, with villagers living a quiet and peaceful life. At the Li…
